Robots Are The New Future Generations

Speaker

Robots are rapidly evolving from factory workhorses to robot-companions. The future of robots is highly dependent on their abilities to understand, interpret and represent the environment in an efficient and consistent fashion, in a human compatible manner. The work presented here is oriented in this direction. It proposes a hierarchical probabilistic concept oriented representation of space that is based on typical household objects and structural elements such as doors (and walls). The primary contributions of this work are in the areas of representation and conceptualization for mobile robots; the key focus being, an increase in the semantic content of state-of-the-art mobile robot spatial representations and an increase in the spatial awareness (understanding) of a mobile robot about its surroundings.
The single greatest challenge at the moment for mobile robotics is to endow a robot with the capacity to exhibit a greater degree of spatial awareness. The root-cause of the problem lies in the deficiency of semantic content in mobile robot representations. These two problems form the core motivations of this thesis. Such a representation would be useful for enabling robots to be cognizant of their surroundings and yet compatible with their human users. The robot would be endowed with a capacity to reason about spatial semantics and act in a semantically and potentially socially intelligent manner. From an application point-of-view, this paper makes a contribution towards bringing robots into our homes, as our companions.
In short how we can create another human being but Automaton. However, it can think, cooperate with surrounding, can feel, what about soul,… can be created, is it possible!!!
